Larry Zuckerman Obituary

YORK Larry A. Zuckerman, 65, lived his life and each day exactly as he wanted and Thursday, March 10, 2011, as his last. "To know him is to love him" and if you knew him well, you will know that he did everything in his own way. He was one of a kind and will be loved and remembered by his partner in crime and loving wife of 21 years, Kate "Hollywood" P. (Ziska) Zuckerman; his mother, Mildred "Mickey" (Cohen) Zuckerman of York, his daughter, Mindi "Bones" Haines and her husband Matt "Mattso" Haines of York; his son, Todd M. Zuckerman and his wife Julie Styskin of Hershey; his grandchildren, Caden "Peanut" Haines, Zoe "Z" Haines, Marc Zuckerman and Sam Zuckerman; his brother, Lee "Osc" Zuckerman of York and his dear friend, Kenny Raffensberger. Born in Philadelphia on December 4, 1945, he was also the son of the late Milton Zuckerman and was an owner of Larami Metal Co., Inc. in York. It is at Larry's request that all funeral arrangements are to be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Cancer Patient Help Fund, c/o York Health Foundation, 912 S. George St., York, PA 17403 and it is also requested that you please hug someone close to you and tell them you love them as there is nothing more important than family.

Katie, Lee, Mindy, Todd and Zuckerman Family, My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please accept my deepest condolences. "Uncle Larry" was first and foremost like family, and secondly like a professor of "life's" advice. He taught me a lot over the years, before and after entering adulthood and I enjoyed all the teachings and will forever cherish the memories that we all shared. Anyone who knew Larry, will not forget him or his affinity for his wonderful stories and jokes, as he was truly a one of a kind type of guy. May you find peace in knowing that you have many who love and care about you and are here for you.
